I created my delightful bagels by combining elements from several recipes. I enjoy them for breakfast plain or with onion and chive cream cheese. —Pam Kaiser, Mansfield, Missouri

- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided

- 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
- 3/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

Directions
- In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. In bread machine pan, place the water, sour cream, onion mixture, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, herbs, garlic, flour and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into 9 balls. Push thumb through centers to form 1-1/2-in. holes. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Refrigerate overnight.
- Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes; flatten bagels slightly. In a non-aluminum Dutch oven, bring water to a boil with remaining sugar and salt. Drop bagels, 1 at a time, into water. Cook 30 seconds; turn and cook 30 seconds longer. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels.
- Sprinkle 2 greased baking sheets with cornmeal; place bagels 2 in. apart on prepared pans. Bake at 425° until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
